Pets Add Life Wins 2013 Nonprofit PR Daily Award for "Best Use of Social Media"
Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) August 30, 2013 -- Bob Vetere, American Pet Products Association (APPA) President & CEO, is proud to announce APPA’s non-profit public awareness campaign, Pets Add Life (PAL), has won the 2013 PR Daily Nonprofit Award for “Best Use of Social Media.” Using multiple social media platforms to promote pet ownership and the joys pets bring to our lives, the campaign also recently received a PR Daily Award for “Best Viral or Word of Mouth Campaign,” and is recognized among an exclusive group of national winners in other categories of campaigns and brands.
“We are overjoyed to receive this additional award in recognition of our initiatives,” said Vetere. “Our commitment to voicing the joys of pet ownership and ultimately getting more pets in people’s homes has never wavered, so we are truly thrilled to see our efforts and dedication recognized.”
As the winner of the “Best Use of Social Media” category, PAL is recognized for its strategic communications and use of several social media platforms, including YouTube and Facebook, to encourage multiple pet ownership of all types of pets. Strategically promoting pet ownership in an entertaining way, PAL also partnered with Andrew Grantham, creator of the wildly popular “Ultimate Dog Tease” video and Talking Animals YouTube channel, to produce a series of viral videos with the notion that pets also need ‘pals’ to talk to.
